This Is Vegas Senior Producer Divulges On The Demise Of The Ambitious ‘GTA Killer’

Announced over four years ago, Midway's This is Vegas boasted one of the biggest budgets in video game history. With interiors that were "way beyond" anything seen in open world games and an "incredible AI simulation" the $50m budgeted game from the minds of Surreal Software had the potential to become as popular as RockStar's Gran Theft Auto.

who ever know what this game is who was here back in 2008 when N4G was full of Fanboism. it was a good time. anyway this game i was very hyped about it. for me a day 1 must buy it sad everything went wrong for this IP

It was shame this game never saw light and I was very surprised it was never picked up buy another dev. The gaming world can sometimes be a bitch, endless play safe sequels keep being shoved at us and games that could bring something new are allowed to die.

Speaking of bitches, this little nugget right here sums up a lot of what's wrong with the world today:

"During a meeting Samantha Ryan ( Warner Brother’s Senior VP of product and development ) insisted that Klimecky and his team ship the game, she didn’t care about quality. “Quality is under the floor!” she yelled after doing a physical comparison of priorities."
